Hi, I don't want to be rude whatsoever just very curious. I have a 18 month old baby and we are TTC (trying to conceive) to conceive because we want them to be very close in age and have a close relationship. So in a sense since you have 3 children over the age of 14 what makes you want to start over again?

I mean again not trying to be rude just curious. I personally can't see myself starting over again once my child (ren) are of a certain age. Just feel as though I wouldn't want to be "dealing" with a teen and a newborn. So again curious what makes you want to TTC? once again? I have friends who have children who are teens and then decided to add 2 more babies into the family (currently pregnant).

I've actually only have 2 my oldest is 17 n as I said my youngest is 14. They are with my ex husband. My husband n myself don't have any together, his previous life was the exact same as mine. We were both with other ppl who got to stay at home n take care of our children while we were the one who had to work our butts off to put food on the table, roof over their heads,etc. We now can try to experience"raising"our child together as we work opposite shifts.Thus.. We feel like we had to miss out on all the"Milestones"thru out our childrens lives. His 2 girls are the same age as mine. When urs get to b older u may want another one. My advice to ppl is stay on birth control. Never take the option away from urself. I am certainly glad I didn't... Like I said before my 2 were oops... We are trying to plan this one. We've been trying for almost a yr. But was told I couldn't until a yr after Depo..

If it's been a year then just go to your Dr. And make sure that you are healthy enough to have a baby. Once you get the okay then make that baby! You can get opks so that you know when to BD. Good luck

I've already been to dr everything is great. However I'm still not pg. been hitting all my ovulation days n my fertile days.. Just impatiently waiting.. Lol..

You can only get pregnant in days leading up to ovulation so finding out when you ovulate is key. Ovulation occurs about 2 weeks before your period starts but the day you ovulate can vary. You can find out when you ovulate by tracking things like basal body temp, cervical mucus and using OPKs. CM (cervical mucus) amd OPKs can tell you that you might ovulate soon but only your bbt can tell you that it actually happened.

Wow that is interesting I never thought of a situation like that. I may want to have children later on but I don't think I would. I do however want to stay on birth control or tie my tubes definitely not get rid of them completely (cancer etc). It will defintely be a beautiful experience for your husband and yoursel. My husband and I are both sharing all if not most of the milestones together and it is so beautiful to share it together.
